Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

"Brother, where did you get the bag? It's so beautiful."

As soon as she entered the house, Sicui immediately hugged the bag that Gu Siwei had brought back, looking left and right and couldn't bear to put it down.

"What's so good about this? Look at the floral fabrics that my brother has prepared for you. I'll ask my sister-in-law to make you some clothes in a few days. You can't bother Sister-in-law Meiling all the time. She also has a share."

Otherwise, Lao Gu is very particular about people.

"Don't look at the bag. If you like this bag, give it to you," Gu Siwei said when he saw Sicui still looking at the bag.

Sicui immediately asked happily: "Really?!"

"I can't lie to you anymore. I'll give it to you as soon as I say it. What's so good about a rag bag?"

No matter how he looked at it, Gu Siwei didn't think there was anything good about a broken Huangjun.

Qiao Qisheng found the military shoulder bag for Gu Siwei to hold Gu Siwei's blame. He didn't say he wanted to go back. When Gu Siwei saw that the girl liked it, he naturally gave it away.

Hearing what Gu Siwei said, Sicui got on her back with joy and started spinning around in the room.

Gu Siwei looked at Zhi Le and was amused for a while. Then he took the pot outside, found a wooden stick and tried it on, then put the wooden handle of the wok on.

After installing the wooden handle, Gu Siwei was ready to open the pot. How could Gu Siwei be short of pork and pork skin?

After the pot was hot, Gu Siwei wiped the pot with pig skin, then poured fat on it. After brushing it clean, he put it on the fire and burned the pot until it turned blue. Then he opened the pot again. He went back and forth two or three times before turning the pot on. It's ready.

When the pot is boiling, the aroma comes out. You can smell the aroma of meat from a distance.

This fragrance attracted Liu Fulin and his grandson.

"Sicui, the bag is so beautiful."

As soon as Liu Dezhu entered the yard, he was attracted by Sicui's bag.

Sicui said ostentatiously: "My brother gave it to me."

"I know, it's really nice."

Although Liu Dezhu was a bit stupid, there was no way he didn't know the famous thing. Gu Siwei was the only one in the whole village who could do it, and the others were far behind.

Liu Fulin did not get together with the two children, but squatted next to Gu Siwei, took two puffs of cigarette, and suddenly said: "This battle is worth it. From now on, no one in the village will dare to mess with you."

"Isn't it good to live in peace and harmony? I have to look for trouble." Gu Siwei didn't take it seriously. He didn't think a few villagers could do anything to him, but after this fight, he would definitely save himself some trouble.

"Some people don't think so. If you don't bully others, you won't feel happy. If you want to bully others, you have to find a soft persimmon," Liu Fulin said slowly.

Gu Siwei said: "In a bigger village, there are still a lot of things going on."

Liu Fulin smiled and said: "Someone will cause trouble, and it will be inevitable for thousands of years."

After saying that, the conversation changed: "This meat is quite fragrant."

"Get some to take back to you?" Gu Siwei asked.

Liu Fulin was not polite, nodded and said: "Waiting for your words, make some, and Dezhu and I will eat meat. When the New Year is over, you can take Dezhu into the mountains and let him learn the art of going into the mountains with you. Feed themselves".

Gu Siwei really wanted to scold her for accepting Qiao Yitong. Why would a fool like Liu Dezhu throw it to him?

"It's not that I want to embarrass you. At my age, he might be gone one day. This kid Dezhu is so heartless. If I were gone, he might be Sicui in the future. I really can't worry about others..."

"Stop it, stop it, it's okay for you to live for another twenty years. As the old saying goes, good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years!" Gu Siwei said angrily: "You think entering the mountains is easy?"

"I know it's not easy. If it's easy, I won't ask you anymore." Liu Fulin didn't care about Gu Siwei teasing him and continued to speak slowly.

Gu Siwei had no choice but to say: "Don't let Dezhu follow me. I found a piece of land that can be cultivated here. I thought you and sister-in-law Meiling's family would be half of it. Why don't you go take a look if you have time?"

Gu Siwei knew that both Liu Fulin and Wu Meiling's families had little land. The family had no land to begin with, and Wu Meiling had many brothers, so they didn't have much land to share. Moreover, they were not a large family, which meant they could hardly inherit any land. .

Things in rural areas are a bit troublesome. The so-called land distribution is not based on head. The clan is divided into small and large clans.

Gu Siwei couldn't figure out this matter. It was all someone else's fault and there was no need for him to figure it out.

Anyway, the two families of Liu Fulin and Wu Meiling don't have much land. The rations can only ensure that they don't starve to death. If they just rely on the land to eat enough, they don't even think about it.

Since arriving here, Liu Fulin stopped talking and carried him back. Wu Meiling, an enthusiastic sister-in-law, also helped with life and did not watch the excitement like some people.

Gu Siwei did this because his original temperament was like this, and he wanted to repay his kindness, and secondly, he wanted to show some shit that his heart was towards me, Lao Gu, so there were benefits!

"What did you say!"

Liu Fulin grabbed Gu Siwei, his voice trembling a little.

land!

land!

Don’t talk about it now, it will still be a good thing after decades.

"You old man is so energetic!" Gu Siwei shook off Liu Fulin's hand.

Liu Fulin said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so excited. You said there is a piece of land that can be cultivated?"

"If you don't believe it, just pretend I didn't say it." Gu Siwei teased him.

The land was naturally filled in by Gu Siwei. He found a good valley, threw out the remaining soil in the space, and filled in a piece of land. Not many people would want this kind of land outside, but here , that is real land. Although it is a bit far away from the water source, almost a hundred meters, but for people who are short of land, it is not a problem.

"No, no, you can't not say it," Liu Fulin said.

After saying that, Liu Fulin pulled up Gu Siwei: "Let's go and see now!"

"I just came back, I'll go after a while," Gu Siwei said: "Even if you want to see it, you and your family can't go see it. You have to look for it... Hey! The old man can run quite fast!"

Before Gu Siwei finished speaking, Liu Fulin had already ran out.

After carrying the pot into the house, Gu Siwei saw Liu Fulin, Guo Shengshou, and Wu Meiling coming over in a hurry. Their faces were full of excitement and they couldn't hide it.

Gu Siwei saw the three of them and put down the pot in his hand: "Forget it, let's go."

Liu Fulin smiled and said: "Let's go."

Wu Meiling said to Gu Siwei: "Brother Siwei, what you said is true. Have you really found a place where you can cultivate farmland?"

Gu Siwei knew that the kind-hearted sister-in-law Meiling was so concerned about this matter that she couldn't believe it was true, so she said: "Let's just go and see it. Wait, let's borrow a boat." It’s really hard to sail on the boat.”

"I'll go, I'll go".

Guo Shengshou ran outside as he spoke. When the three of them reached the river, he was already standing on the boat.

"Go up," Gu Siwei said.

It's not easy for this boat to go upstream, but it's okay in this section of the village valley. The higher up you go, the higher the river is, so it's naturally more difficult for this boat to go.

But it's not a problem now. I heard from Gu Siwei that there is a piece of land for them to cultivate, let alone punting the boat, it is probably not a problem for them to swim up.

Sometimes hope is the motivation to create everything impossible.

The boat headed upstream, and about four or five miles past the village pass, a valley appeared in front of everyone. From bottom to top, there was a gap of about ten meters in the river. If it was tidied up, it could be used as a dock.

"here?"

Liu Fulin couldn't believe it.

"We're all here, let's go in and take a look," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Liu Fulin heard that there was land that could be cultivated here, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. He had been to this place before. He was young when he came, that is, in his twenties. At that time, this place was full of rocks, and it didn't look like anything at all. It can look like soil.

However, seeing Gu Siwei so determined, a little hope ignited in his heart.

The old man didn't know that all the original stones had been picked up by Gu Siwei to lay the foundation. Even if there was no soil at this time, there were still no stones.

Guo Shengshou tied the boat to a nearby tree and followed everyone towards the valley.

From the mouth of the valley to the river, there is a drop of about ten feet, and the walk is still a bit steep. Once you enter the valley, the ground at the mouth of the valley becomes flat, but the ground is full of rocks, not to mention mud, not even sand.

But standing here, wherever you can see, it is obvious that there is mud exposed.

Several people rushed over.

"this……".

Liu Fulin rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looked at the land in front of him, and got choked up for a moment.

Guo Shengshou was doing better here, he was young after all, but he was also a little bit groggy. He looked at the ground and kept muttering: It's the ground, it's the ground, it's a piece of land!

Wu Meiling had tears in her eyes and couldn't help wiping them away.

Although she didn't know how big the land was, even if it were divided among three families, the land would be larger than every piece of land in the village. It would be at least twice as big. In any case, one family could be divided into four or five acres, as long as it was If you are willing to work hard, this land is enough to feed everyone and your family.

Not to mention that the mountain people still took advantage of not paying for food, and the land they conquered belonged to their own families.

"Siwei, you are the benefactor of our family," Liu Fulin said tremblingly.

When Gu Siwei saw that Liu Fulin was being aggressive, he immediately grabbed Liu Fulin's hand and prevented him from kneeling down.

"Uncle Fulin, why did you say this? If you hadn't carried me back, I might have frozen to death on the road. This little bit of land is nothing compared to my fate," Gu Siwei said.

"Brother Shengshou, please stop joining in the fun. Sister-in-law, please help me. What kind of trouble is this?" Gu Siwei said immediately when he saw Guo Shengshou doing the same thing.

Wu Meiling pulled her husband up and said with tears in her eyes: "Head of the family, brothers Siwei don't like this."

"Uncle Fulin is right, this is a huge kindness, and we will never be able to finish it in this life." Guo Shengshou didn't know what to say.

When the land was divided, all the brothers had to make a fuss. Now, when an outsider found a piece of land that could be cultivated, just because his mother-in-law helped, he gave it to him, this...

To be honest, without giving Gu Siwei a kiss, he really didn't know how to express this feeling.

That is to say, Gu Siwei doesn't take the land and replaces it with others at will. Guo Shengshou feels that even if he is a brother, he will not give you a cent of the land, because this thing can really feed several generations and allow his lineage to survive. fundamental.

"Okay, okay, you two can discuss how to divide it," Gu Siwei said.

"You're not cultivating here?" Guo Shengshou was a little surprised.

Gu Siwei said: "The land I found myself is much larger than this, but it's just not easy for ordinary people to get up there."

Hearing what Gu Siwei said, Guo Shengshou and Liu Fulin both laughed.

"Uncle Fulin, how do you divide it?" Guo Shengshou said.

Wu Meiling said: "I think one family is half, so we will separate it from the middle, east and west. One family will choose the east and the other will choose the west. When the busy work is almost done in spring, our two families will build a house at the mouth of the valley together."

"You want to move here?" Gu Siwei asked.

Wu Meiling said: "How can we take care of the crops if we don't move here? We can't give up the land here just because of the small amount of land in the village."

"Otherwise, my land would have been given to you," Wu Meiling said.

After hearing this, Liu Fulin also said: "It just so happens that the land of our two families is close to each other, so I will give it to you as well."

Gu Siwei was a little dumbfounded: "No, no, I don't even know how to farm the land now, so I don't need your land."

He insisted on giving it to me now, so how could Gu Siwei want it? He still had more than ten acres of land on his own, so why would he want other people's land?
